    Gatorade cuts ties with Woods

    NEW YORK -- Add Gatorade to the list of endorsement deals that Tiger Woods has lost.

    A representative for the drink, sold by PepsiCo Inc., confirmed late Friday that it had ended its relationship with the golfer, who made a lengthy public apology last week for his infidelities.

    "We no longer see a role for Tiger in our marketing efforts and have ended our relationship," a Gatorade spokeswoman said. "We wish him all the best."

    The spokeswoman said Gatorade would continue its relationship with the Tiger Woods Foundation.

    Gatorade's pretty big too though. It'll probably knock him down from the elite tax bracket to the premier tax bracket. :icon_cool:

    Damn, I'm going to have to stop drinking Gatorade now. :icon_rolleyes:

    Do people really buy things because someone who makes way too much money endorses it?
